Save as a new file: After making all the necessary changes to reduce the file size, save the Excel file as a new file. This will ensure that the original file remains intact.

Compress the file: If the file size is still above 5 MB, you can compress it using file compression software, such as WinZip or 7-Zip. This will further reduce the file size.

I liked the access to all the forms. It was great. And as I tried to do ever more complicated things with the forms (strikethroughs, initialing the corrections in random places, etc.) I learned more and more about the tools the platform has. It has just about everything you could imagine.
